when it comes to their books.

The way LOTR was written made it so fucking boring, I dropped it halfway through The Two Towers.

The Twilight series, on the other hand, was so entertaining that I read it till the very end. I don’t care if the characters are trashy / drama is crap / whatever; I just want to be entertained.

    Such a truly unpopular opinion. I could not disagree more, but I also think there is a difference between what you find enjoyable and objectively what is better. Something that you do not find enjoyable can still be objectively better than something you do. You might enjoy reading tabloids more than Shakespeare, that does not make tabloids better writing, just something you find more entertaining. I think that is the issue most people will have with this post.

      I am aware. The clickbait title is intentional😈

      Or you could just admit there is no objective truth when it comes to art. Maybe you are arguing tabloids are technical writings while Shakespeare wrote pieces of art?
